using iWeb with other domains and blogs?

Sounds like you're just wanting to create a simple hyperlink that goes to another web site. If you're wanting to add another link to your navigation that looks like it's for your site but actually goes to the other site, I'm not sure if that's possible or not with iWeb directly.

If you were just coding it in you could use a meta tag that redirects to another page, but that's a pain to setup with an iWeb page and you have to redo it on each update to the site as the change would be undone by iWeb.

If you have a link to your site, it may help give a little more context and a reference point for the discussion.

 

That link is to a porn site.

 

I've been looking for basically the same thing in order to get to my picture gallery (I redirect http://www.zuena.net to my .mac site and http://gallery.zuena.net to my .mac picture gallery) and haven't found anything. The closest thing I can think of is a variation on your idea: in the footer where you can put the "Made on a Mac" and "Email Me" links, put an icon that goes to the site you want. Then copy that icon/link to all of the pages. I guess you could put the icon/link just below the navigation bar separator as well.

Right now the navigation bar has an item "Media Gallery" that goes to a page with a single link to our media gallery and that is cheezy. I guess I'll at least try the above idea this weekend to see if it makes it look any better.

 

The only way you could do this is by placing an iframe in your website.

I think the website is iWebFAQ.org or something like that. They have great advice for this sort of stuff.

Good luck!

PS Rapidweaver rules!

 

I'll have to give that site a read through. In the mean time I tried my workaround of having the link with an iPhoto-style icon in the footer of each page. Definitely better than the Navigation Bar item that goes to a page with a single link to the outside site. I put it where the email me button would have gone in the lower right corner. I'm happy with it now, but if iWebFAQ.org's (you got the site name right) Navigation menu FAQ shows how to do what I really wanted to do, I'll try that way too.

Ruffian, this website also shows how you can embed an outside blog into your page so that it will look like it is part of your site (so you can see the blog posts) but allow you to update your blog from wherever that blog site lets you blog from (they use wordpress.com as their example site). Maybe that will fit what you are trying to do?

EDIT: I found exactly what I was looking for on iWebFAQ.org. I added a blank page with an HTML snippet that calls the javascript procedure parent.location.replace. I'll leave both options on the site.
